In this study, the spectroscopic characterization, frontier molecular orbital analysis, and natural bond orbital analysis (NBO) analysis were executed to determine the movement of electrons within the molecule and the stability, and charge delocalization of the 4H-1,2,4-triazol-4-amine (4-AHT) through density functional theory (DFT) approach and B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level of theory. Surface plots of the hybrids’ Molecular Electrostatic Potential (MEP) revealed probable electrophilic and nucleophilic attacking sites. The discussed ligand were observed to be characterized by various spectral studies (FT-IR, UV-Vis). The calculated IR was found to be correlated with experimental values. The UV-Vis data of the molecule was used to analyze the visible absorption maximum (λmax) using the time-dependent DFT method. Since the principle of drug-likeness is usually used in combinatorial chemistry to minimize depletion in pharmacological investigations and growth, drug-likeness and ADME properties were calculated in this research to establish 4-AHT molecule bioavailability. Furthermore, molecular docking studies were carried out. Molecular docking analysis was performed for the title ligand inside the active site of the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR). The title compound’s anti-tumor activity against the cancer cell, in which EGFR is strongly expressed, prompted us to conduct molecular docking into the ATP binding site of EGFR to predict whether this molecule has an analogous binding mode to the EGFR inhibitors (PDB: ID: 1M17).

In this work, a comprehensive investigation of the salicylideneaniline derivatives is carried out using density functional theory to determine their linear and non-linear optical properties. Geometry optimizations, for gas and solvent phases, of the tautomers (enol and keto forms) are calculated using B3LYP levels with 6–31G (d,p) basis set . An intramolecular proton transfer, for 1SA-E and 2SA-E, is performed by a PES scan process at the B3LYP/6-31G (d,p) level. The optical properties are determined and show that they have extremely high nonlinear optical properties. In addition, the RDG analysis, MEP, and gap energy are calculated. The low energy gap value indicates the possibility of intramolecular charge transfer. The frontier molecular orbital calculations clearly show the inverse relationship of HOMO–LUMO gap with the first-order hyperpolarizability (β = 59.6471 × 10-30 esu), confirming that the salicylideneaniline derivatives can be used as attractive future NLO materials. Therefore, the reactive sites are predicted using MEP and the visible absorption maxima are analyzed using a theoretical UV–Vis spectrum. Natural bond orbitals are used to investigate the stability, charge delocalization, and intramolecular hydrogen bond.

This paper presents a comparative study on natural indigo and indirubin in terms of molecular structures and spectral properties by using both computational and experimental methods. The spectral properties were analyzed with Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), Raman, UV-Visible, and fluorescence techniques. The density functional theory (DFT) method with B3LYP using 6-311G(d,p) basis set was utilized to obtain their optimized geometric structures and calculate the molecular electrostatic potential, frontier molecular orbitals, FTIR, and Raman spectra. The single-excitation configuration interaction (CIS), time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT), and polarization continuum model (PCM) were used to optimize the excited state structure and calculate the UV-Visible absorption and fluorescence spectra of the two molecules at B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) level. The results showed that all computational spectra agreed well with the experimental results. It was found that the same vibrational mode presents a lower frequency in indigo than that in indirubin. The frontier molecular orbital analysis demonstrated that the UV-Visible absorption and fluorescence bands of indigo and indirubin are mainly derived from π → π* transition. The results also implied that the indigo molecule is more conjugated and planar than indirubin, thereby exhibiting a longer maximum absorption wavelength and stronger fluorescence peak.

AbstractThe geometries, electrostatic potential, Mulliken charge analysis, Natural Bond Orbital analysis and polarizabilities of propyl-para-hydroxybenzoate were calculated using B3LYP functional with 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. The calculated geometries are well matched with the experimental values. The Mullliken atomic charge analysis shows that the eventual charges are contained in the molecule. The NBO analysis explains the intramolecular charge transfer in the PHB molecule. The bonding features of the molecule were analyzed with the aid of Hirshfeld surface analysis. The frontier molecular orbital analysis showed the charge transfer obtained within the molecule. The calculated hyperpolarizability of the PHB molecule was 6.977E−30 esu and it was 8.9 times that of standard urea molecule.

Naproxen (N) is a member of nonsteroidal anti-inflammation drug and widely used as an analgesic, antipyretic, and anti-inflammation agent. In this investigation, the inherent stability and biochemical interaction of Naproxen and its related molecules have been studied. Density functional theory (DFT) with B3LYP/ 6-31G (d, p) has been employed to optimize the structures. Frontier molecular orbital features (HOMO-LUMO gap, hardness, softness), dipole moment, electrostatic potential and thermodynamic properties (electronic energy, enthalpy, Gibb’s free energy) of these optimized drugs are investigated. Molecular docking has been performed against prostaglandin H2 (PGH2) synthase protein 5F19 to search the binding affinity and mode(s) of all compounds. It is found that, all compounds are thermodynamically stable; some of them are chemically more reactive and show better binding affinity than the parent drug. ADMET calculations predict the improved pharmacokinetic properties of all compounds. Finally, this study can be helpful for the design of new analgesic, antipyretic drug.

In this study, a flotation collector N-(carboxymethyl)-N-tetradecylglycine (NCNT) was introduced for the purpose of energy-saving, and its adsorption ability on a fluorapatite (001) surface was investigated by density functional theory calculation. The results of frontier molecular orbital analysis of NCNT and adsorption energy between NCNT and fluorapatite (FAp) showed that NCNT possessed better activity and stronger interactions in the reagent–FAp system than oleic acid (OA). A simulation model revealed that the adsorption positions of NCNT on the fluorapatite surface are calcium atoms, at which NCNT chemisorbed on (001) fluorapatite surface via a bidentate geometry involving the formation of two Ca–O bonds. Flotation experiments verified that NCNT had a good recovery of 92.27% on FAp at pH 3.5, which was slightly lower than OA. Moreover, NCNT was used at 16 °C, which was much lower than the OA’s service condition (25 °C).

Adsorption of SO2 on pure B12P12 and Zn-doped B12P12 is investigated through density functional theory methods. Zn adsorption on BP delivers four optimized geometries: B-Top, P-top, b64, and ring-enlarged geometry with adsorption energies of −57.12 kJ/mol, −14.50 kJ/mol, −22.94 kJ/mol, and −14.83 kJ/mol, respectively. The adsorption energy of SO2 on pristine boron phosphide is −14.92 kJ/mol. Interaction of SO2 with Zn-doped boron phosphide gives four different geometries with adsorption energies of −69.76 kJ/mol, −9.82 kJ/mol, −104.92 kJ/mol, and −41.87 kJ/mol. Geometric parameters such as dipole moment, QNBO, frontier molecular orbital analysis, PDOS, and global indices of reactivity are performed to visualize the changes in electronic properties of B12P12 after Zn and SO2 adsorption.
